When planting short-term crops, weed control is a very important step in improving crop yield and quality. Mr. Kong, who has been planting leafy vegetables for 30 years, has continued using grass oil since the product was introduced 17 years ago.

Mr. Kong is a hardworking farmer from Bukit Gambir, Johor. Since taking over his father’s farming business, he has been involved in agriculture for at least 30 years. Across the four acres of farmland under his management, local leafy vegetables are the main crops. Although farming work is busy and demanding, Mr. Kong has always handled it personally. This year, his youngest son has also started helping him with the farming business.

Used Since the Product Was Launched

When Advansia was first established 17 years ago, the company had only three products, and Metolachlor 87.3 was one of them. Metolachlor 87.3 is a pre-emergence grass oil or herbicide. Throughout this long agricultural journey, one thing has remained unchanged: Mr. Kong’s use and trust in Metolachlor 87.3. Since the product was introduced, he has continued using it until today.

The main reason Mr. Kong trusts this herbicide is that it can reduce the problem of weeds competing with crops for nutrients. When planting short-term crops, suppressing weeds is an important step in improving farm yield and quality.

In leafy vegetable cultivation, regular sowing and weed control have become routine practices. For every 20 litres of water, he mixes 25ml of Metolachlor 87.3 and 25ml of Pendimethalin 33.6%. This trusted combination helps control grassy weeds such as goosegrass, while also suppressing broadleaf weeds such as mouse-ear chickweed.

Provides Valuable Reference

Over the years, Mr. Kong has remained a loyal user and supporter of the company. He not only uses the company’s products, but also often shares feedback and suggestions with the team. His experience and insights have provided valuable reference for the company, helping improve products and better serve the agricultural sector.

Although changes in the agricultural industry are hard to predict, Mr. Kong continues to firmly protect his land and farming work. His story and actions are also an important part of the company’s development journey.

Mr. Kong’s example and trust not only encourage the company to continue serving the agricultural market, but also show that agriculture requires continuous effort from all parties in order to bring a stable food supply.
